Greenwood was later charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. But he denied all allegations.
And in February of this year, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all the charges, citing the reason: "A combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction."
It allowed United to start a thorough internal probe into Greenwood's future, which is nearing a conclusion.
The Sun claim Red Devils chief executive officer Richard Arnold will make the call by the end of the week, and he could return to the club as early as next.
The report adds that Greenwood may start with the U21s to build up his fitness and match sharpness after last playing a competitive match in January 2022.

But if he hits the ground running on his return, Ten Hag could be tempted to throw him in at the deep end while he's in desperate need of attacking firepower.United's toothless performance against Wolves on Monday proved as much, despite the 1-0 win to start their Premier League campaign, with three problems clear.
Marcus Rashford struggled to make an impact as the central striker, while 19-year-old winger Alejandro Garnacho didn't look ready to start games on the left.
But with new £72million signing Rasmus Hojlund recovering from a back injury picked up in pre-season, Ten Hag will likely have to work with what he's got until the first international break.
